Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2424047A1] The contact has a connection end (102) comprising non-stressed and stressed states in which the end provides straight and truncated longitudinal sections. An annular groove (107) is hollowed out from an external surface (106) of a wall (105) of the contact at the end for receiving an annular tightening ring (108). The groove has a truncated longitudinal section when the end is in the non-stressed state, so that diameter of front end of the groove is greater than that of rear end of the groove. The groove has a cross section when the end is in the stressed state. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a connector assembly, comprising a female electric contact (2) a method for producing a female electric contact.
